Very tasty ice cream!! Speedwalked and arrived 5 min before closing on a Sunday night, welcomed by a short line out the door. Line moved quickly, and sampled a few flavors (they were out of the sweet corn) from the friendly owners. Can split flavors in the cup. Appreciation for the minimal decoration/seating so they can focus on flavor and quality at a reasonable NYC price point (~$7/cup). They do be playing heavy metal, if you choose to sit at the couple tables inside. Otherwise, they have a handful of plastic chairs outside.
This family-run passion project in Williamsburg had some delicious ice cream and sorbet. I usually steer clear of sorbet because I don't like the texture, but after talking to one of the owners and sampling a flavor, he convinced me to try both the blueberry and peach (the former being at the end of its season, the latter just coming into season). The blueberry was delicious, very tangy with little flecks of blueberry throughout. The peach was more subdued, not as bold with the flavor or texture. The store itself is tiny, no markings out front yet so you have to know where to look. There's some seating inside but most of the long, narrow space is for the line to the service counter. It's not the most efficient setup, so expect a bit of a wait if there's more than two or three people. I would definitely come back to try other flavors, but I don't love lines (unlike the rest of New York, apparently), so I'd say come when it's less busy if you can.
Came right at opening time and there was already a line. Don't sleep on this, super small ice cream/sorbet store that seems to only be known by locals. Flavors were unique and delicious, not artificial tasting at all.
The only meadows this new Williamsburg gelato spot brought to mind were the goat pastures from Severance. The aesthetic is minimalist, dystopian and white, even down to the color of the gelato. The hues of the pecan, peach and elderflower flavors were almost distinguishable. I suppose the upshot is that the flavors taste more "authentic" without coloring. The elderflower had a very pleasant mild taste, and the gelato overall had a nice silkiness. A welcome alternative to Martha's Country Bakery for dessert later in the evening.
Stopped by this cute, minimalistic, farm-to-table, family-run ice cream shop in Williamsburg! They have daily rotating flavors and they do run out so come early! I was very sad they sold out of the corn, but got myself the oolong and honey flavors. The oolong definitely had a consistent tea flavor and the honey was subtly sweet which paired well with the oolong option. Texture wise, it was pretty smooth and creamy! Sometimes I worry that my gelato will melt quickly but it was not an issue with Common Meadows. Staff were patient and kind. The line can be slow because they do offer taste testing without any hard limits. The space is minimalist with a couple of tables/chairs inside and plastic stools on the sidewalk. Curious to check out their other flavors in the future!
This place was such a pleasant surprise. I was a bit skeptical with the gentrification of it lol, but when I went inside the staff was so kind and patient, allowed us to try up to two flavors and also told us a bit about the concept of the shop. Every day they have new flavors and they are constantly experimenting to make new ones especially depending on what is in season. I love it when places pay attention to craft! Not to mention the ice cream was so creamy! I fear it may be the best ice cream I have ever had and felt so clean. Will definitely be back!
Some of the best gelato I've had. Unfortunately forgot to take a pic, but had to post about it. The guy there was really excited about their ice cream and happy to talk about the effort that goes into to it, including importing the best ingredients possible. The maple was unbelievable, super creamy, incredibly smooth, and excellent maple flavor. Chocolate was also excellent, a little darker and less sweet than what you are used to and I thought it was perfect. They rotate flavors regularly and I will definitely be back. There is no real sign on the storefront but it is there.
One of the best ice cream shops I've ever been to. The sudachi flavor was absolutely delicious and I can't believe it was vegan. They change the flavors everyday. Would highly recommend.
Great ice cream that has a nice soft whipped texture to it. Interesting flavors - we got the black sesame which my husband really enjoyed. And super friendly service!
Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Genuinely one of the worst gelatos I've ever tasted. Although it is creamy, the flavors were either artificially tasting or extremely sweet. I tried the sasparilla and guava, both were inedible. I ended up just getting black sesame and coffee, each equally artificial tasting and super sweet. I had a few bites and had to throw it out. They give unlimited samples and people ahead of me were trying 5-6 flavors, which is why the line moves so so slow.
I don't think I've ever seen such a simply decorated storefront, but I guess it allows you to focus on the important things - good food. I stumbled upon this place after dinner and saw that they have specialty gelato flavors. They switch out their menu daily, which is insane but also so cool because it'll be a new experience every time I come back. They're super friendly here and accommodated me trying almost every flavor because I'm very indecisive. Ultimately, I went for hojicha, sea buckthorn, and coffee. I have literally never even heard of sea buckthorn before but I really enjoyed the flavor. I found that their flavors are sweeter than most but are quite unique in taste. The price is also reasonable and I'm really excited to come back to try some other flavors.
Wow! This place is really good. I've been used to going to Caffe Panna for so long that I never gave this place a chance when it opened. But after coming in today my Panna trips are going to go way down. The gelato is really well made, with interesting flavors and the quality is excellent. It is only $7 a cup and you get up to 3 flavors. There are about 10-12 flavors so you can easily try most of them in just a few cups. The flavors are seasonal so be sure to grab what you like while it's still there. Highlights were the chocolate, blueberry and watermelon. The jasmine and peach were really good too. Small place, just a few tables inside and a couple more outside but otherwise you're here for the ice cream. read more
This gelato spot in Williamsburg is an amazing addition to the neighborhood, with a new menu everything (though there are rotating flavors that you will see often). Service is friendly. There are a variety of unique flavors, such as jasmine tea and sweet corn, but also classic favorites, such as chocolate and hazelnut. It's $7 per serving and portions are generous. As they make the ice cream new each day, once it runs out, it runs out. So, by the time I went (about one hour before they closed), they only had half of their menu left. I ended up getting their peach and jasmine tea. It was so fragrant and creamy. Would love to come back and try more of their flavors (and I would love to see more locations open)!! read more
